Hello everybody I'm designing a database for our new Application and have some problems with the following:
We have a table Jobs in which we store all kind of Jobs. Looks like this: tbl_jobs ------------- job_id, integer, name, varchar, description, varchar easy so far :) The problem is we also want to keep track which of the Jobs are related or almost the same. Example: If we have the following jobs: 1 painter 2 auxiliary worker painter 3 plasterer 4 auxiliary worker plasterer 5 electrician 6 auxiliary worker electrician There will be 2 logical "groups": first: 1, 2, 3, 4 second: 5, 6 If I query for "plasterer" I should get the following result: - plasterer - painter - auxiliary worker painter - auxiliary worker plasterer If I query for "auxiliary worker electrician" I should get this: - electrician - auxiliary worker electrician What is the easiest way to design this? I thought about this the whole morning but couldn't get a solution. I hope somebody on this list can point me in the right direction.
